Something From Me...

Hey guys!
Sorry I've not updated since I got home from Devon, but I've been really busy recently.
A few weeks ago, I went to Oxfam with my therapist and I managed to get myself a voluntary position there

I started last Wednesday and had so much fun! This week I'm working Tuesday afternoon, and Wednesday morning. So yeah, I'm doing really well at the moment, and I'm going to slowly increase my time there. Plus, it's a great excuse to meet *hyperlink for lunch; hehe!

What else have I been up to. Well, I spent all weekend wrapping Christmas presents. It took me absolutely ages, but I enjoyed it. I love wrapping presents...actually, I just love giving gifts. It makes me really happy. So yes, that's one reason I made that Christmas poll the other day. I'm just so excited about Christmas this year; it's insane! I never used to get like this..I used to hate Christmas, but in recent years I've just been so excited about it. So now I'm some kind of hideous Christmas monster haha! Actually no, I'm not that bad, but I do like to get everything out of the way so I can settle down and enjoy the season without having to rush about buying things last minute. So I've pretty much finished my shopping already, and have wrapped 90% of it. Crazy, crazy Siân

Other stuff; I've been doing a lot of crochet recently. I found myself a little behind with it, which isn't very useful, as I'm using it for some peoples Christmas pressies! I've currently got a Nativity set on hold while I finish off items I'm giving to people...like a certain something for ~Costume18! Infact, I might try and finish that today.

Speaking of ~Costume18, she's got a Craft Fair coming up at the weekend, and she's hopefully going to flog a few photographs for me. I need to order them today so that I get them in time. I would've done it sooner, but I'm horribly forgetful. Hopefully it'll all go ok for her though! I'm hoping to pop down on Sunday and see how she's doing

Right, I've literally run out of things to say, so I'm just going to go on to features. I'll try and replace this drivel with something more interesting as soon as I can! For now you can enjoy this...

Despite the fact that I'm not the girliest girl in the world, I've always loved dance and drama. It's not something that I, myself, am very good at; but I've always loved going to the theatre, and if there was a school play, I was always involved in one way or another. But above it all, the one thing that has always fascinated and intrigued me is ballet. The strength these dancers have, coupled with grace and beauty is insane, and some of the shapes and moves they form are just beyond comprehension to me. So here are some ballet related deviations, to celebrate a beautiful artform.
